Canaan AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047 Available for Order

10, Oct 2019

Bitmain may have just announced its new S17+ and T17+ ASIC miners, but they are going to start shipping in December and Canaan is apparently not sleeping either. They have started taking orders for their latest AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047 with the first batch shipping in November and the second batch for December at a slghtly lower price. Canaan’s AvalonMiner 1066 and AvalonMiner 1047 may not be as powerful and energy efficient as what Bitmain is offering, but they are also shipping earlier and at a lower price or so it seems. The top model AvalonMiner 1066 is offering 50 TH/s hashrate with 63 J/TH power efficiency or 3250W of power usage (compared to 73 TH/s with 40 J/TH and 2920W of power usage for S17+), however Canaan’s Bitcoin ASIC miner A1066 priced at $1390 USD should be at least half the price of Bitmains new top device. The slower Canaan AvalonMiner 1047 is rated at 37 TH/s with 62.5 J/TH and 2380W of power usage, compared to the 64 TH/s promised for the T17+ with 50 J/TH and 3200W of power usage. The A1047 ASIC is available for $1030 USD with November shipping while we expect to see something like double the price for Bitmain’s faster T17+. In fact Canaan’s Latest A1066 and A1047 ASIC BTC miners are closer in terms of hashrate to the current Bitmain S17 and T17, but again Bitmain is better in terms of power efficiency even for them. Nevertheless, even if not the fastest on the market, Canaan’s AvalonMiner ASICs still seem like a good alternative price/performance and availability wise…

New 43 THS Innosilicon Terminator3-43T Bitcoin ASIC Miner

19, Nov 2018

The newly announced Innosilicon Terminator3 ASIC miner capable of delivering up to 43 THS SHA256 mining hashrate with just 2100 Watts of power usage (48.83 W/TH) is definitely interesting technologically wise, though in the current market situation pre-ordering mining hardware for next year delivery is significantly more riskier. The Innosilicon Terminator3-43T is up for pre-orders at a price of $2279 USD or about half of Bitcoin at the current low prices, so buying with BTC may not be a wise idea at the moment. Delivery the 1st batch is expected to start between January 25th and February 25th, 2nd batch is for March 5th to March 15th, 2019. One thing is for sure however, the competition for more powerful and more efficient ASIC miners is heating up even though the market is declining at the moment, apparently everyone is already gearing up for when things pick back up.

Innosilicon Terminator3-43T Specifications:
– Hashrate: 43 TH/s (+/-5%)
– Power Consumption: 2100 W (+/- 10%, normal mode, at the wall, with 93% efficiency PSU, 25°C temperature)
– Dimensions: Single Tube, 430mm（L）*141mm(W)*220mm（H）
– Net Weight: 10.02 kg
– Ambient Temperature: 0-40° C
– Network Connection: Ethernet
– Note: ASIC Boost Enabled with a proper license

MicroBT WhatsMiner M10 Bitcoin ASIC Offering 33 THS at 2145 Watts

20, Sep 2018

WhatsMiner M10 is a Chinese Bitcoin ASIC miner that is apparently starting to ship just now that promises performance comparable to other top SHA256 ASICs available on the market at the moment. At 33 THS with 2145 Watts of power usage it is surprisingly efficient for 16nm chips available at a price of $2000-1800 USD including a power supply. What is more interesting though is that MicroBT, the manufacturer of the WhatsMiner, has just announced their next product called WhatsMiner M10S that will supposedly be able to deliver up to 55 THS with about 3500W of power usage at 65W/THASH or 44 THS with about 2600W at 60W/THASH power usage.

Whatsminer M10 Specifications:
– Chips: 315 * 16nm ASIC
– Hashrate: 33TH/s (+/- 5%) (depends on cooling)
– Power Consumption: 65 W/THS, 2145 W per miner (+/- 10% )
– Power Supply Unit: WhatsPower P5, 2500w, 93% efficiency 220V
– Operating Temperature: -5C ~ 40C
– Dimension: 34cm x 20cm x 17cm
– Weight: 8.55 kg

The only problem with ASIC miners going forward with higher performance is the increased power usage and that is causing trouble for people that are running smaller mining farms, let alone small home miners that do not have the infrastructure available that is capable of handling this high power usage per device. Anyway, with the current market situation it is arguable what is wiser to do – invest in Bitcoin mining equipment or buy directly BTC and hold, that is if you are investing fiat, not crypto.
